Jamming the Blues: A guide to soloing over 12 bar blues shuffles

Pete C. Madsen

In this book we will learn the basic tools for soloing, which include scales and partial chords. We will play several 12 bar solos and analyze how they are built. Along the way you will learn all of the above techniques, but MOST importantly you will learn to create musical phrases. As the word suggests, a phrase is based on the language skills you already possess. If you think of your daily speech as a template for soloing you will bring life and vitality to your playing.*If ordering this book from Amazon there will not be a CD.
